NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 325

Relying on Russell's explosive performance in the second half and scoring 49 points, the Suns took the victory.

As for their November game, there is only the last game left, and it is still at home.

It was the Magic who came to challenge them, and Stoudemire was thinking about it during training, clamoring to teach Howard, a young boy, a lesson.

Russell also followed him. Anyway, he controlled the rhythm during the game, and it was difficult for Stoudemire to mess around.

The Magic have a fresh start to the season and are off to a great start and will definitely do something in the East.

That is to say, the team lacks a top scorer, otherwise they can become a first-tier team immediately.

But now, the East still can only look at the Celtics.

Joe Johnson is at his peak now, and may be better than Ray Allen except that he likes to hold the ball. The Celtics will not have too much trouble dominating the East.

The Magic is still the original lineup, and there is also Bogans playing soy sauce in the starting lineup.

They don't have a suitable second position now, and the front and back lines are a bit weak, and they will try to supplement them later in the season.

At home, the Suns gave the Magic a good start. Ray Allen and Durant both felt good.

It's a pity that Stoudemire, who wanted to mess with Howard, found that he didn't seem to be an opponent.

After Howard reached the peak, it was really difficult for Stoudemire to bully young people.

He needs to have a good mentality, don't care about these, just find a way to score more.

Stoudemire's grievance is just a trivial matter, and the sun still suppresses the Magic as a whole.

In any case, compared with a strong team, the Magic lineup still has some flaws.

The Magic didn't start well. The two guards were completely suppressed by the Suns, and Nelson was still a little hotheaded.

However, after they rotated, the situation changed.

Arroyo, like Nelson, is a blacksmith, but he's better with Howard and Turkoglu this time around.

After Howard got the ball more, he ravaged Stoudemire again, making Stoudemire a little suspicious of life.

The young insider in front of him has a really strong impact and is stronger than him.

In fact, Stoudemire also found a chance to score this time, but he couldn't prevent it.

After Howard broke out, he also activated Lewis.

Lewis can get a contract of [-] million yuan in the summer, which must be a premium, not a little premium.

Many players who are stronger than Lewis have not received such a big contract, and the league is not yet an era of flooding with big contracts.

But the Magic's decisive shot is not wrong, because Lewis's characteristics are more suitable for Howard, and he can help Howard open up the most space by playing power forward.

In fact, this method is similar to that of the Suns. The Suns can also play outside at the fourth position, giving Stoudemire the most space inside.

To some extent, Howard, like Stoudemire, is an insider who relies on explosive power to make a living.

It's just that Howard's style of play is more inclined to the fifth position. Before the team let him play the fourth position, the penalty area seemed a little crowded.

With Howard and Lewis attacking, Turkoglu's role is fully played.

Point forwards are often better than the first position. In terms of passing, they are tall and long, making it easier to pass the ball to the inside.

Relying on the performance of their three core combinations in the next few seasons, the Magic withstood the impact of the Suns in the second quarter, leaving the suspense to the next stage.

At halftime, Russell joked with a frustrated Stoudemire.

"Dude, you've been taught a lesson...do you want me to tell you how to get it back?"

"I was just a little careless." Even if he was ravaged twice, Stoudemire would not admit it.

Fortunately, no one else poked him. The two veterans in the team are serious and serious people, while the young players dare not make jokes.

Russell took Stoudemire to participate in the discussion with the coaching staff, but didn't really tell him what to do.

But with his intelligence, he can know what kind of changes to make from the tactics without hurting his self-esteem.

In Russell's view, many people on the team are like children who haven't grown up and are easier to deal with.

In the third quarter, under the guidance of their head coach Van Gundy, the Magic started the correct mode.

Now Nelson is still relatively young, and he doesn't have the courage to do whatever the coach says.

He honestly passed the ball to Turkoglu and Howard, and then became a tool man from beyond the three-point line, playing much better than the first half.

Turkoglu and Howard also played well. Turkoglu's striker is actually more difficult to defend. It is always troublesome to pass and hold the ball, especially when he is only an option on the team's offensive end.

It is more difficult to prevent Turkoglu from death. He is not a top attacker and there is no need to stare so hard. It is not worthwhile for Howard to flank, and it is not necessary when the Suns lead.

The sun's preferred choice is to lock Lewis. Lewis is a big three-point threat, but it's just this kind of long-range shooting threat, which is the most threatening and easy to lock out of the Magic's three strong points.

In addition, the Suns maintain their lead by relying on the output of the offensive end.

Russell slammed Nelson, and then passed Stoudemire and others in seconds, and the Magic couldn't limit them at all.

The Magic's defense at the back line, the Suns don't panic at all when they meet them, Russell and Ray Allen can handle it, and Durant can play easily with him.

It doesn't matter if Stoudemire worked hard, anyway, he is no longer the sun's strongest attack point.

Both sides played well, but the score gap remained unchanged.

This is Russell's ability to control the field, and he can make opponents desperate when the score is leading.

In the second half, the Magic's rotation lineup still played well, when it was a different player.

Redick, a sophomore, occasionally had a good performance. He was transparent in the first half, and his shooting ability was also brought into play in the second half.

In fact, he should be suitable for the Magic's system, but the Magic didn't focus on training him. It may be that the guy is not liked by people, and he is more hip in other aspects besides shooting.

The current team still pays more attention to personal defense. For example, Korver can only be a substitute in the 76ers.

Of course, the Suns Korver is also a small rotation now, but the rotation of the defending champion is still much more valuable than the rotation of ordinary teams. Korver is much happier now than in the 76ers.

The rotation did not kill the opponent, and there was a certain amount of suspense in the final quarter of the game.

But the suspense is only because the score gap is not big enough, no one thinks the Magic can come back.

Because Russell hit Arroyo as soon as he went up, and after Arroyo hit Nelson, it was not difficult at all.

The Magic's insider Howard exploded, and it was useless to score 30+20.

Who doesn't have a large double-double of 30+, Russell cut it easily.

So personal performance is just personal performance. Howard didn't even kill Stoudemire completely, let alone lead the team to defeat a strong team like the Suns.
